The WFP did not nominate Frascone
Anthony Frascone never applied for the WFP endorsement. He is a conservative with a
checkered personal history who never intended to be a real candidate of the Working
Families Party. Unbeknownst to the WFP and Jones’ campaign, Frascone and his associates
registered a few hundred Rockland county residents as Working Families Party registrants for
the sole purpose of collecting enough petition signatures to put Frascone on the ballot and
force a surprise WFP primary for congressional district 17.
Since the WFP rarely has primary elections, real Working Families party registrants are not
accustomed to voting in June primaries. Most of the people who voted in the WFP June
primary were those Frascone and his team had recently registered as WFP voters.
